Music to My Ears: Team Aqua/Magma Battle

October 23, 2014November 7, 2014 Chris

Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald is probably my least favorite generation to this point in the series, yet I still find myself excited by the prospect of playing Omega Ruby next month. It’s confusing. Back when the games first came out, I jumped … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Team Aqua/Magma Battle

Review: Tales of Xillia 2 (PS3)

October 16, 2014November 21, 2014 Chris

Tales of Xillia 2 manages to do what Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World could not – be a competent, fun sequel that maintains the spirit of the original game. There are some reviewers out there who complained … Continue reading Review: Tales of Xillia 2 (PS3)

Music to My Ears: Gerudo Valley

October 9, 2014November 6, 2014 Chris

It’s tough to take an iconic theme and make it better. From fan-made covers to other professional composers creating remixes, we’ve seen countless versions of some of the most famous video game songs in history, like the Super Mario Bros. … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Gerudo Valley

“Fall,” or “That Time of Year When Games Kill Wallets”

September 23, 2014September 28, 2014 Chris

Every fall, video game publishers conspire to take all of the money from our wallets. This is a known commodity, but I still fall for it every year. How else to explain the sudden transition from “barely anything is coming … Continue reading “Fall,” or “That Time of Year When Games Kill Wallets”

Music to My Ears: Eternal Mind

September 16, 2014September 21, 2014 Chris

Video game music can fall into a few different categories. Sometimes it’s ambient, settling into the background and only poking its head out at important moments. You know, like Skyrim. Sometimes it’s the focal point, because the game is about … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Eternal Mind

Persona 5 Trailer Debuts, PS4 Version Added

September 1, 2014September 1, 2014 Chris

So it’s official: Persona 5 has a trailer, and it’s not coming out this year. That news isn’t too surprising. We were overdue for some news on the game — but because so few details had been revealed, a 2014 … Continue reading Persona 5 Trailer Debuts, PS4 Version Added

Music to My Ears: Time’s Scar

August 17, 2014August 23, 2014 Chris

God, where do you even begin with Chrono Cross? It’s not as bad as some people claim. It’s not as good as some people claim. (Gamespot gave it a perfect 10 back in the day!) It’s pretty much the definitive … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Time’s Scar

Video Game Sequels: Familiar or Repetitive?

July 30, 2014August 6, 2014 Chris

As Tales of Xillia 2 approaches its release date in the middle of next month (yay!), I’ve been reading a few reviews while trying to keep my spoilers to a minimum. Some praised the game for introducing new characters into … Continue reading Video Game Sequels: Familiar or Repetitive?

Music to My Ears: Brave or Grave

July 20, 2014August 6, 2014 Chris

Brave or Grave is one of those songs that I’ll always remember, even as I encounter hundreds and thousands of other tracks along the way. It’s the music from the final boss fight against Shin M. Bison in Street Fighter … Continue reading Music to My Ears: Brave or Grave

Three New Smash Characters Revealed; Overreactions Unwarranted

July 14, 2014August 3, 2014 Chris

We got a bit of a surprise this morning from today’s expected Smash Bros. announcement in the Nintendo Direct program: what was supposed to have been a new character reveal turned out to be three instead. In addition to Captain … Continue reading Three New Smash Characters Revealed; Overreactions Unwarranted

Gray Areas

Gray Areas is a pop culture extravaganza with a live weekly podcast every Thursday night, daily Let's Play videos, and a bevy of old blog posts for your enjoyment.

The current crew includes Chris, Dave and Shaun, who have been there since the beginning, and Cody, who joined in 2021. We also have other contributors like Michaela who chip in from time to time.

We cover everything from video games, anime and movies to music, books and idiots in the news.

This whole thing was started as At the Buzzer in February 2011, the brainchild of three men desperate for attention. It became Objection Network in 2017 and then this in 2024. It’s slightly related to an old Flagstaff radio show from 2008, kinda like how Frasier was slightly related to Cheers. In other words, we're all getting old and it's a little depressing.
